SFO-DXB for 500 USD round trip?!? Please give me the name of your travel agent, because he/she is clearly absurdly well connected!!
By my last reckoning, SFO-DXB was 1.4k USD in Y, 15k USD in J and 30k in F!
No need for a travel agent. Absurdly well connected is FT

Now you see how AC is able to fill planes.
Even YYZ-DXB alone has been hovering around USD630 RT, well below EK's nonstop prices.
I have a friend who paid USD530 from BOS as well about a month ago.
